UPDATE: EMAIL FROM DeLUCA 11/03/2011 AT 5:00 PM

The SCPR has just received an email update from Pat DeLuca (DeLuca in the Morning - Q92) that is complimentary of Republican Stark County Auditor Alan Harold.

Doesn't surprise The Report any. Harold may be the very best Stark County public official in terms of being attentive to and responsive to Stark Countians when they take their concerns to him.

The Report has heard nothing from jail Chief Deputy Mike McDonald.

A really close question, right?

Think maybe if DeLuca and DiFranco get convinced on a tour of a jail that the conditions are dire and heading south that they might have used Friday, Monday and Tuesday to pump the levy on The DeLuca Show/Q92?

The Report did put a call into Chief Deputy Mike McDonald (the head of the jail division) to find out: what in the world in going on?

But it was after normal working hours and all there was to do was to leave a message for McDonald to call The Report tomorrow.

Back in mid-August, McDonald was begging Stark Countians to come tour the jail, to wit:

AN INDEPENDENT MINDED POLITICAL COMMENTATOR
Until 1976 I was a Republican. Since then I have considered myself a Democrat. So after long term stints of being a Republican, then a Democrat, I have come to the political position I feel most comfortable with - being an INDEPENDENT MINDED ANALYST who demands effectiveness of our politicians - Republican, Democrat or whatever.
I have changed my political affiliation to "non-partisan" by not voting in either political party primary election.
